It has been documented that large-artery stiffness is independently associated with
increased cardiovascular risk and may potentially lead to heart and kidney failure and …

Aortic dissection is the most common of the acute aortic syndromes. Acute aortic dissection
remains a highly morbid and potentially lethal condition despite contemporary advances in …

Background Thoracoabdominal acute aortic syndrome is associated with high morbidity and
mortality. We aim to scrutinize our evolving strategies for acute aortic syndrome (AAS) …

Introduction Compliance mismatch between the aortic wall and Dacron Grafts is a clinical
problem concerning aortic haemodynamics and morphological degeneration. The aortic …

Background: Three-dimensional (3D) printing is becoming increasingly popular around the
world not only in engineering but also in the medical industry. This trend is visible, especially …

The number of endovascular aortic repairs (EVARs) has surpassed the number of open

Background Pararenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (PR-AAA), constituting around 15%-
20% of AAA patients, are defined as having no neck between the aneurysm and the renal …

We introduce a new computational framework that makes use of the Pulse Wave Velocity
(PWV) extracted exclusively from 4D flow MRI (4DMRI) to inform patient-specific compliant …

The thoracic aorta is a dynamic structure composed of the aortic root, ascending aorta, aortic
arch, and descending aorta. It is subject to the pressure and volume of the cardiac cycle and …

Background: Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a well-established technique
for the management of blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI). Despite improvements in vascular …
